I'm not sure this is more correct and the current text reads better to me. Can you explain? My grammar is a bit rusty but the way I see it, the sentence breaks down like so
And I think it's a common blunder to use a comma to connect a defining relative clause - though it would be correct for a non-defining relative clause. (And it's defining because you need the information that the line is marked with the "-->" to know which line the sentence is referring to.) |
@the-mikedavis Your grammar is good, there is no need for a defining relative clause or comma, I think it sounds correct as well as being correct. |
Well, in speech one would make a pause after below, to differentiate:
I'm not a native speaker, but to me that reads better with a comma. Feel free to close if you disagree, I may be wrong. |
Even though there may be a slight pause in speech, it is grammatically incorrect to have a comma. |
It might be clearer to use "Move the cursor to the line marked '-->' below". What do you think? |
That's clearer in my view. The |
Thanks! |
Correctness aside, “the line below marked” reads oddly, and makes one assume “below --->” for a second.
